I disagree that Boeing is making 'a(n) absolutely craptastic product' the 737 still has 2000 orders on the books for delivery. 777 still has 300 orders to be filled.. and the 787...delayed - oh yeah, a pain in P.R. department's arse - Yes. However, I would hardly call a widebody with 835 firm orders a 'disaster'. The 787 is still a revolutionary plane, although Boeing's overzelous development plan backfired, in the long run the 787 will be exceptionally successful.
I think Boeing just needs to make a decision on it's narrowbody fleet. I understand that there are potentially billions of dollars riding on the decision, but one that needs to be made none the less.
just my $.02
